My some red root floaters seem to be dying. No pump, water at 25c/78f with a heater, a small grow light is keeping them lit during the day. Would tannins from driftwood potentially make them unhappy?

I needed fertilizers! I got some co2 + other stuff that frees up iron (flourish excel) and the RRFs exploded happily. They went from dying to sending out new leaves like crazy in about a week. Quite the turnaround. I think the water was just nutrient-poor for floating/non soil plants.
